Location: The New Inquisition

Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Novel Questioners of The New Inquisitors is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Viktoria Gryfynn with an even hand, and remarkable for its prohibition of alcohol. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 15.586 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Law & Order. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Domine. The average income tax rate is 76%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Tourism industry, followed by Beef-Based Agriculture and Uranium Mining.

Citizens can be frequently spotted going about their business stark naked, senior citizens are often found slaving away in factories, government-run screening operations remove embryos with severe genetic disorders, and the nation is reliant on the principle of mutually assured destruction to maintain its security. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The New Inquisitors's national animal is the wolf, its national religion is Optimystic Nowism, and its currency is the Silver Soveregn.

The New Inquisitors is ranked 98th in The New Inquisition and 22,797th in the world for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 36 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
